Novel dual-mode locking semiconductor laser for millimetre-wave generation

In this work we present a new mode-locked device that can be used for millimeter-wave photonic applications. Such device presents for certain bias conditions a dual-mode behavior we have investigated for millimeter wave generation. Through the small signal analysis of the device, we have identified a resonance at the frequency separation of the longitudinal modes that has allowed us to demonstrate signal transmission at 40 GHz. The millimeter wave signal generated in detection is studied in terms of phase noise and the noise intrinsic to the emitter.
